Hi _____________________

Hope everything's going well. I'd like to share something that might interest you: Mirena® (levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system) birth control. Mirena is easy to use because there's no daily routine. So if you're anything like me, it may help you keep life simple.

Here's what you should know about birth control with Mirena:

  • Mirena is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. In fact, it's one of the most effective forms of birth control
  • Best of all, Mirena prevents pregnancy for as long as you want, for up to 5 years
  • Plus, it can be removed anytime by your healthcare provider, so you can try to become pregnant immediately. A woman's chances of getting pregnant within 12 months of having Mirena removed are approximately 80%

INDICATIONS & USAGE
Mirena (levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system) is a hormone-releasing system placed in your uterus to prevent pregnancy for as long as you want for up to 5 years. Mirena also treats heavy periods in women who choose intrauterine contraception.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ABOUT MIRENA
Only you and your healthcare provider can decide if Mirena is right for you. Mirena is recommended for women who have had a child.

  • Don't use Mirena if you have a pelvic infection, get infections easily or have certain cancers. Less than 1% of users get a serious infection called pelvic inflammatory disease. If you have persistent pelvic or abdominal pain, see your healthcare provider.
  • Mirena may attach to or go through the wall of the uterus and cause other problems. If Mirena comes out, use back-up birth control and call your healthcare provider.
  • Although uncommon, pregnancy while using Mirena can be life threatening and may result in loss of pregnancy or fertility.
  • Ovarian cysts may occur and usually disappear.
  • Bleeding and spotting may increase in the first few months and continue to be irregular. Periods over time may become shorter, lighter or even stop.
